Look, at the same time that I don’t want to be a celebrity, I understand that when you make movies you put yourself out in the public eye. I’d be a baby and a fool to be like, ’Why are there cameras taking pictures of me?’ when I’m on a billboard for a movie. I think that’s a very absurd concept.

Hill is distinguishing between “celebrity” as a desired identity and public visibility as an unavoidable byproduct of acting. The quote acknowledges a basic bargain of commercial filmmaking: promotion (billboards, press, publicity) necessarily invites attention, including paparazzi. By calling it “absurd” to complain about cameras while simultaneously marketing oneself, he critiques a posture of performative innocence sometimes adopted by public figures. At the same time, the phrasing suggests ambivalence—he doesn’t seek fame for its own sake, but accepts responsibility for the exposure his work generates. The remark frames self-awareness and accountability as more honest responses to modern media culture than indignation.
